Contact seller2-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Arnold Bennett was one of the best-selling authors of the late 19th/early 20th century. This title, originally published in 1908, follows the lives of two very different sisters from their youth into old age, has always been considered one of his very best works, even by his critics. This i…s a lovely edition, in good condition. The cover has a floral pattern reminiscent of William Morris. There are full-page color drawings throughout, as well as half-page black-and-white drawings. The text block is tight and there are no marks, creases, or tears on the pages. There is a light stain on the cover which I didn't notice in dim light as well as a fingerprint-sized stain on the back cover. CC. John Austen (illustrator).
